INFINITUM PRIMER PLAN

DAY 4 OF 5

Day 4: Generosity

The Passion Translation counts 19 occurrences of the word ‘generosity’ in the New Testament (and a bunch more ‘generous’, ‘generously’, etc.). 

We read a study out of the character trait from that University of Michigan that found that over long periods of time, married couples grow to look increasingly like each other. And the happier they are as a couple, the more likely they will increase physical similarity. So, as we follow Jesus, it is only (super)natural that we grow more and more like Him. It’s kind of the point!

Remember the study above—couples that spend a long time together and are happy, grow more alike. So, as you and Jesus are companions over a long period of time, and if you are happy together (implies that your priorities are aligned with His), then you grow more and more like Him. In Christian circles we call that being ‘Christ-like’.  

And one of the outflows of being Christ-like is that you are generous as Jesus is generous. The focus isn’t so much on being generous as it is on being close to Jesus. And then generosity will emerge as a character-trait.  

Does that make sense? Then let’s stay close to Jesus.
